Angel Food Ministries is a non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to providing grocery relief and financial support to communities throughout the United States. [1]

Our church has joined Angel Food Ministries, a cooperative food distributer serving over 5,000 organizations around the country, to make food packages available to our church members and our community. [2]

The food items are collected by a national non-profit church group known as Angel Food Ministries. [3]

The program began in 1994 with 34 families in Monroe, Georgia (between Atlanta and Athens), and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of families every month across 35 states. [...] The food is all the same high quality one could purchase at a grocery store. [1]

“And we also have a lot of young families or single mothers with children who really need to watch every dime,” she says. [3]

The cost is about two thirds of what it would cost to purchase the same items in the local grocery stores. [2]

Several days later, in the same month, the host site either picks up the food from Angel Food’s 160,000 square feet warehouse to fill the orders on Distribution Day or, because this ministry is growing nationwide, food is delivered to the host site by a pre-arranged delivery mode. [4]

Angel Food Ministries also participates in the U.S. Food Stamp program, using the Off-Line Food Stamp Voucher system. [1]

The food is all the same high quality one would purchase at a grocery store. [4]

Additionally, there is no limit to the number of units or bonus foods an individual can receive, and there are no applications to complete or qualifications to which participants must adhere. [1]

The program began in 1994 with 34 families in Monroe, Georgia (between Atlanta and Athens), and has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of families every month across 32 states. [4]

Comparison shopping has been done across the country in various communities using a wide range of retail grocery stores and has resulted in the same food items costing from between $42 and $78. [5]

“It’s for anybody who values their dollar if you can save money on food you will have more money to spend elsewhere,” Amis says. [3]

Each months menu is different than the previous month and consists of both fresh and frozen items with an average retail value of approximately $60. [5]
